Not yet.


"Up to 8 weeks" so I guess they mean it  :-\

I've definitely never been so eager to check the mail each day  :shuffle:

So far so good with the new tranny, however.

Received my check in the mail from SOA today for the full total of the transmission replacement (in American dollars).


All's well that ends well.

Bad news in the inbox today: (from my friend that bought a WRX then bought an STi a few months later, hadn't sold the WRX yet)

"Bad news about the WRX: the trans took a big dump today.  My wife was driving it and it locked in third gear.  Can't move the shifter at all.  It's being towed to the dealer, hopefully they can get into ASAP.  <10,000km and the thing craps itself?  Damn, dude, has someone at Subaru goofed?"
No place I'd rather be...

The drive-train problems experienced by WRX (5-speed) is enough for me to spend the extra few thousand and get on the STi.

Any tranny issues yet, snowman?
